Mr. Jenner. I didn't want to hazard a guess. If you know, will you please state it?
Mr. Oswald. I believe Lee, as a matter of record, did arrive in the Soviet Union on October 13, 1959.
Mr. Dulles. Is it written then, roughly, a little less than a month and—a little over a month after his arrival—these two letters referred to?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. I intended to draw your attention to that which you have already mentioned—that is, in the letter of November 8 he indicated that he would be pleased if you would send him some funds, whereas on the last page of the letter of November 26th he advises you that as far as funds are concerned—he is in good shape.
Mr. Dulles. And both of these letters were written, as I recall, before he was advised that he could not stay on in the Soviet Union the first time?
Mr. Jenner. That is correct, sir. They are written before he went to Minsk, as well.
Mr. Dulles. Thank you.
Mr. Jenner. Had you sent him any funds in the interim period?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir.
